Call up quote, accepting father's set free (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emancipate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set free' is the definition.
(emancipating is a kind of setting free)

'call up quote accepting father's' is the wordplay.
'call up' becomes 'eman' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'quote' becomes 'cite' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote').
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa is a kind of father).
'cite' placed around 'pa' is 'cipate'.
'eman'+'cipate'='EMANCIPATE'

Can you help me to learn more?
